The exorbidant cost of electrophoretic analysis, many a times becomes the major limitation factor. As most of the clinical laboratories import the cellulose acetate membrane which costs 5 to 6 U.S. $ that is Rs. 180/- to Rs. 210/-, the final cost goes upto Rs. 350/- to Rs. 500/-. We have observed that CAN strips can be effectively reused 6 to 7 times for subsequent electrophoretic analysis.
